On my remote machine, the desktop icons, icon titles, taskbar and jump lists are puny, very difficult to read the small font size.
I've tried all of the various display/sizing options in my Surface's control panel, and also the display setting tab in Remote Desktop Connection, and have not found any comnbination that works well on the remote and Surface Pro 3. (Also, the sizing options are not so convenient anyway since a sign out is generally needed.)
I've never had this problem and regularly use RDP on various machines. Are there others with RDP display issues?

To install .net 2.0: Control Panel, Programs and Features, Turn Windows Features On or Off. Select the first item.
I've never had a problem with any of the framework versions.
With RDCM 2.2, make sure you choose full screen under the display tab when adding a remote "server".
I just purchased a surface pro 4 and did all the updates for the latest and greatest windows 10 version and am dealing with this issue. my remote desktop is on a windows server 2008 R2. Super tiny on the SP4. I will try your shortcut above but when I try and launch the remote desktop 2.2 in your link it is telling me I need to install .net framework 2.0.
The .net framework site has a lot of versions and 2.0 looks relatively old with a lot of compatability updates and service packs. Can you confirm which .et framework I need to load and whether it will cause issues with my nice clean new windows 10:) Is it something I can uninstall if it starts causing other issues?
The utility RD Tabs also works very well to solve the RDP scaling issue.

works perfectly fine!
Thank you. This workaround seems to make most things in RDP much easier to see on my Surface Pro 4. Unfortunately, command prompt is still tiny and tough to read.
